Mentors attend every group workout throughout a training program to provide support to their group of participants.  Their main responsibilities include: offering positive energy and a positive attitude to the group, promoting safety, leading warm-ups and/or cool-downs, keeping an assigned approximate pace or interval, educating participants about the benefits and solutions that Fleet Feet offers and being an ambassador for Fleet Feet Bloomington.

• Has completed at least one (ideally more than one) FFRC Program
• Able to attend at least 75% of workouts
• Can maintain a desired pace or interval based on a GPS watch
• Committed to following the assigned workout and not conducting their own workout
• Is not currently in-training for a specific goal or is willing to train before/after group workouts
